Are you someone who brings calm, clarity and care into busy moments? We are looking for a Centre Administrator to join Busy Bees Pioneer Highway and support our kaiako, tamariki and whānau with the day-to-day heartbeat of the centre.
 

This is a part time role offering 30 hours per week, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility.

About us:

Busy Bees Pioneer Highway is a well loved centre with a strong sense of community and a team who genuinely enjoy working together. Our two purpose built buildings, generous outdoor spaces and Healthy Heart award winning food programme make this a vibrant and welcoming place to work. The Centre Administrator is an important part of how we operate, supporting families with enrolments and daily queries, assisting kaiako with documentation and compliance, and managing centre systems with accuracy and warmth.

As part of Busy Bees Aotearoa you will be backed by clear processes, supportive leadership and pathways to grow your confidence and capability across administration, customer service and centre operations. This is a team that values communication, collaboration and kindness. Your strengths will be noticed and appreciated.

Key Responsibilities:
